CMA CGM LA SCALA 9450612
The Coast Guard and Amver, the Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue system, coordinated with the "CMA CGM La Scala" in the rescue of four people from a capsized trimaran on Dec 2, 2010. The French flagged sailing vessel "Nim" had capsized 1000 miles east-southeast of Bermuda. Coast Guard 5th District received a 406 emergency position-indicating radio beacon alert from the French based Grig-Nez Maritime Rescue Coordination Center informing them that the 50-foot trimaran had capsized, but the sailers were doing well and staying atop the overtuned hull of the vessel. The Coast Guard, using the Amver system, contacted the "CMA CGM La Scala", which diverted course to assist. Upon arrival the crew did not find the 4 people aboard the Nim. Shortly after, the missing crew was located and taken aboard the vessel.
